Custom Private Tour in Convertible MINI Cooper

Overview

You're in a special city. Why take an ordinary tour? This is the ONLY convertible MINI Cooper tour in the country!

This tour is totally customizable – you choose the length of the tour, what time you want to be picked up, and what you want to see.

I love San Francisco and have spent 20 years studying and exploring the city. I’ll work with you to plan your tour so you can see the famous sites and the hidden gems other tours can't go to or don't know about. I’ve designed this to be the type of tour I would take if I visited San Francisco, but where you go is up to you. I make suggestions along the way, but how long you spend at any site is up to you. You're never rushed, and never have to wait for other people. It's all about you!

Plus, it's fun! In the convertible MINI Cooper, you see everything up close and personal as we drive along.

I love showing guests San Francisco, and talking about the history and culture of this unique and special city.

What To Expect

Coit Tower

See the murals and views the bay and Golden Gate Bridge. How much time you spend is up to you.

Painted Ladies

Call it Postcard Row, the Painted Ladies, or the Full House houses, everyone loves seeing this site in person. And if you want to get out and take a picture, you can. As with all locations, if you want to get out is up to you.

Presidio of San Francisco

Drive through this former Army base turned national park. Stop and see the Yoda statue if you want.

North Beach

Learn the history and culture of this neighborhood that is a favorite of locals and visitors alike.

Lombard Street

If the time is right and there isn't too much traffic (usually weekend and holiday afternoons) we drive down the famous crooked st. If we can't drive down, we can at least drive by, and get out for photos if you want to.

Chinatown

Drive through this neighborhood, and learn about its history and culture. As I talk about the architecture, you can look up an see it as we drive through in the convertible MINI Cooper.

Haight-Ashbury

Drive down the street made famous in the 1960's, and learn why the music and culture made resonated around the world.

Golden Gate Park

Drive through the park, see the museums and the Japanese Tea garden. Guests enjoy driving through and learning the history of this urban garden created on top of 1,017 acres of sand. If open, there is an opportunity to go into the observation tower of the DeYoung museum.

Twin Peaks

Experience a spectacular view of the entire city, the Bay, and if the weather is clear, bridges as far south as Silicon Valley and up near the wine country.

16 Avenue Tiled Steps

The 16th Ave Tiled steps are only part of what you can see. I can show you a lesser known but equally as impressive tiled staircase, and what these staircases looked like before they were transformed into this urban art piece.

Mission District

See Mission Dolores, the Mission Murals, and location of what may be the best burritos in city.

Reed filled the tour time with all our requests and more. We had a great time with him. We had taken the San Francisco bus tour and wanted to see more. The other bus tours had lots of duplicate stops. So, we found Reed. He took us around San Francisco in style and comfort. We saw views and architecture that were not in the tour books. We learned a lot about the neighborhoods we toured. The views from his Mini-Cooper with the top down were great. You could see in all directions with no blocked views. Reed found great angles for taking pictures. He also was totally flexible when we wanted to stop and take in a view. Great way to spend our last afternoon in San Francisco. We smiled and laughed the whole time. Reed exceeded our expectations.

My wife and I were visiting SF for the first time, and we spent the first two days walking the city and following guide books. This was sufficient for us, but then we found Small Car Big Time Tours. After his tour, we fell in love with the city. We caught a glimpse of Reed giving a tour to another couple while driving down historic Lombard street, and we made a request for booking immediately via his website. The next day he arrived at our hotel before our meeting time, and was just fantastic. He was attentive to our needs (bringing a blanket for us and allowing us to sip our coffee while he whisked us around town with the top down), and customized a trip for us which delved into areas we wanted to see most and avoided the ones we felt we had already seen. Relaxing in a convertible while Reed gives you all the nitty gritty detail on the city is remarkable, you will not be disappointed. Just a fantastic experience all around.

We only had a long weekend in San Francisco and wanted to make the most of our short time there. We spent 4 hours with Reed & his mini on our first full day and had a fantastic time! We especially appreciated the ability to customize the tour to our tastes and shortly after starting our tour we learned that Reed has extensive knowledge about San Francisco and its interesting history! We basically got a crash course in architecture and history while being whisked ALL OVER the city seeing the sights on our must do list and also being treated to sights we didn't know we wanted to see. It was the perfect way to start our trip because we got a taste of everything the city had to offer and a sense of where we wanted to return to spend more time exploring! Reed was also able to give fantastic recommendations for food and drinks (3 or 4 of which we followed up on and none disappointed!). Highly recommend this experience!
